    The lesser of two evils is exactly how we fucking got her in the first place.

      You get a chance to vote for your dream candidate in the primary.

      If they’re not on the ballot in the general, that’s because other voters didn’t find your dream candidate so dreamy.

        Bullshit.

        The primary process is so heavily fucked between superdelegates, and games played by the DNC that it’s pointless to even try.

        Or did you forget it was the superdelegates that fucked Bernie in the early primary, as well as all the other games like removing his access to voter roles for a bug that was reported by his staff,

        As well as the first few states generally dictate the course of the primary.

        You’d have a point if a) every state primaries on the same day, b) superdelegates didn’t exist, and c) the DNC abided by its own rules.

          Bernie Sanders got fewer votes than Clinton in 2016 and fewer votes than Biden in 2020. That’s why he wasn’t the nominee.

          Politics ain’t beanbag. If you can’t get the most votes than you deserve to go home.

      Maybe everybody should just vote for me. I’ll end our support for Isreal. I’ll massively increase our support for Ukraine, and I’ll send George Clooney a birthday card every year with a pop-up middle finger, that pops out of a card that says “You’re getting older, you smug fuck!”

      Also bacon. Just…just bacon.
